"Great course! I have been struggling to write a murder mystery for a long time. This course walks you through each step so I now know how to proceed to complete my mystery along with guidance to turn a first draft into an edited manuscript. I highly recommend this course to anyone that has dreams of writing a mystery novel.”

As a result of taking this course, I feel like the cozy mystery idea that I had been thinking about but didn't know where to start has a definitive goal and purpose now. By following her steps, participants are well on their way to completing a book. Thank you Ellie!”

"The lessons, worksheets, resources, 'Live' sessions, have helped tremendously. I know my characters so much better. I use a calendar and timeline for pacing and moving the plot forward. I have a notebook for chapter fixes and follow-ups. Recently, I've started the first edit of my draft with my critique group."

What my course students are saying
It has definitely given me tools to help me! I didn’t start writing until I was “ supposed” to according to the course. I’m sure if have issues with my layering/editing & adding to the “middle” of my story, it will be in the other lessons I haven’t reached. I’ve tried to follow the course exactly as it is laid out.
What my course students are saying
Between the course and the community of practice group, I definitely feel like the majority of my challenges are being solved. The Facebook community of Practice group serves as a safe place to share comments and ideas and solicit feedback from both my peers and the instructor. The Community of Practice group also helps me feel less isolated. It is also reaffirming that we are not alone in our writing journey. The combination of the masterclass and writing cohort community of practice group has proven to be the solution to solving my writing challenges, and I look forward to a long and prosperous writing community.
